There really is no telling, everyone is diferent. The swelling took about 12 days then once that was gone I'd say another 2 week's for me & I gained close to 60lbs. By the time my son was 4 week's I didn't even look like I'd ever had a baby. That was 8 yrs ago. LOL I have no delusions this time around. I'm sure I'll snapback nice enuf bt not in 4 weeks' for sure. As an older mom I'm concerned. I'm going to try wrapping my belly this time around to help the process along. Girdle too.
